Her deep blue eyes twinkled with curiosity.“I intended to see you both last night, but a minor accident made it impossible for me to come. I would never be too busy for you guys. We are going out to play by the weekend, and I will get you guys your favorite toys!” I carefully mentioned the bribe.Bill, a sensitive pup, made me extra cautious in his presence. The twins were about one year and six months, but they were stronger and sharper than normal pups. They learned fast. Bill is a literal genius and already possesses a powerful aura at this tender age.“Yay! I’m going to get the Pink Princess doll. That’s super expensive!” Ruby ran in circles around me, jumping up as she ran.She wore a pink princess dress that was too bogus for everyday

Chapter: Chapter Eight: Ruby and BillSera’s POVThe more I’d loved Dylan, the more his betrayal had hurt me. This pack is full of wounded shifters, broken by the betrayal of one of our own. We protect ourselves from strangers, particularly alphas who might seek to seize control of the pack. My new mate serves as a threat to the pack.I had vowed to protect this pack as its Alpha, but I don’t know if I can keep it.The Shifters Council might assign the pack to another alpha or my mate as its leader. Then, the pack would be easy prey to anyone with bad intentions. My face went pale at the thought; I clenched my fist so tight it hurt. We had to keep this situation under wraps for as long as possible.I woke up the next morning feeling very weak. My head pounds heavily, and I feel sick in my guts. I have a lot of pack matters to attend to, and I can’t afford to laze around. I struggled to sit up as Hyde came in, holding several papers wit

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Shocking NewsSera’s POVI open my eyes and find myself in the pack’s hospital. Hyde, the pack doctor, is talking to Millie and the others. They all had solemn expressions on their faces. I guess my long hours of overwork had finally caught up to me.“Guys, what’s going on?” I sit up, holding my head.“You tell us. Doc said you are with pup…”My face paled as Millie’s voice faded away. I am in shock at what I heard. I am with what?I can’t believe what I just heard.

Chapter: Chapter Six: New Members Sera’s POV “Alpha, the new members are here.” Miles mind linked me from the pack’s border, disrupting my thoughts. Moving to my closet, I pick out a sleeveless brown top and black shorts appropriate for carrying out pack duties. I move to the mirror by my bedside and ruffle my hair with my hand. My medium-length, thick, chestnut brown hair was always unruly. I brush it into a temporary shape and head down for my meal. I arrive at the table just as the pack’s cook, Cindy, comes out of the kitchen with my meal in her hands. Cindy has been the pack’s cook for as long as I can remember. She watched Marc and me grow up; she is like my mother. “You are up. I was about to look for you in your room. Everyone else has had their meal except you.” Cindy places a plate of bacon and eggs with a cheese sandwich on the table.

Beautiful singing accompanies the delicious scent, and I approach in anticipation as unspeakable joy wells in me.My wolf, Noble, wags his tail excitedly as we get closer to the scent. I turned the corner, and the sight before me took my breath away. My wolf howls in recognition, “Mate!” She turns around, and her face is blurry—my mate's face. Yes, I don’t recognize my mate.I open my eyes and look around my room in the pack house. I had been having the same dream every night since the mating hunt. As I rise and pull the drapes, letting light fill the room, my mind wanders back to the events of that day.As a powerful Alpha in the Werewoods and a respected member of the Shifter’s Council, I can skip the mating hunt.
